Mikey: I am a *-libertarian into squatting, dumpster diving, traveller type that usually smells like Mt. Sutro eucalyptus forest where I camp every night (sorry to hay fever sufferers).

Work: I formerly worked as a Graphic Designer at start-ups, learned PHP/Mysql worked at other startups doing coding. Recently went to school and studied Java, Ruby, C++, Unix Shell, Perl and a bit of Python. I code in HTML5/CSS/Javascript on Node.js servers these days and also code Objective-C for both my transit app and game development using the new SprikeKit Framework by Apple.

Projects: http://www.busr.info, "Busr: Smart Way Finding in Transit" is an open source project that allows people to view transit info for where they are if there is open API coverage for where they are by the local transit agencies. It is also a way to study urban traffic in preparation for building self-driving mapping systems. The web platform is Node.js/HTML5, the apps are in Objective-C (iOS) and Java (Android), native apps aren't necessary for this project but fun to hack, a design from a mobile first paradigm.

BiPod: is a living module that I am designing so that homeless street kids can have a mobile living pod. You may see me in the wood shop testing concepts.

"Reindeer's Revenge" is an iOS SpriketKit game in development where the Deer hunt the hunters. All hand rendered artwork in this game, no Computer Generated Images, except for some special effects.

Although mostly freegan, i work as a cook at a fancy wine tasting place twice a week so you may see me in the Kitchen fixing up some communal meals from time to time.

I am brand new to the space as of 11/21/2013.

Hope to see you around:
